There's just as much probability that you miss out on a big swing up as there is that you miss a big a drop.
The consequences of use-after-free are different for the two.

In rust it is a logic error, which leads to data corruption or program panics within your application. In C it leads to data corruption and is an attack vector for the entire machine.

And yes, while Rust itself doesn’t help you with this type of error, there are plenty of Rust libraries which do.
I find OpenAI's models are the least fun to work with.
>For this reason I think WFH is a massively more risky social experiment than most realize.

I think it's the opposite. The standard where people commute to the office, spend all day in the workplace, and commute home with barely enough time to tend to their needs is the failed social experiment, creating unprecedented levels of isolation and entire generations of people who can't form relations outside of work.

I also don't think it's all that healthy for people's primary avenue for building friendships being in a venue where layoffs and transfers could disrupt that process suddenly and without any real recourse.

One thing the marketing of industrialization (I want to say propaganda, but I know how people are...) was quite successful at was in erasing memory of the period just before, when piece-work at home (and farming, lots of farming) was the primary form productive labor took. There is quite a lot of documentation of industrial bosses complaining about such set-ups because they allowed workers to set their own hours and modulate their output to their needs (excuse me, "be lazy").
My default problem for testing these systems has been this word search puzzle where you get a list of words and a grid of letters, and you need to find each word in the grid. [0] I just tried it with QvQ and it failed; none of the answers were correct.

Interestingly enough, I recently tried the new Gemini release in AI Studio and it also failed at the first pass. With a bit of coaxing I was ultimately able to get it to find one word successfully, and then a second word once it understood the correct strategy. After that attempt I asked it for a program to search the grid for each word, and although the initial attempt failed, it only took 4 iterations of bug fixes to get a fully working program. The two main bugs were: the grid had uppercase letters while the words were lowercase, and one of the words (soup mix) has a space which needs to be stripped when searching the grid.

Asking QvQ to generate a program to solve this puzzle... The first try gave me a program that would only check if the word was in the grid or not, but not the actual position of the word. This was partially my fault for using a bad prompt. I updated the prompt to include printing the position of each word, but it just got caught up thinking about the problem. It somehow made a mistake in converting the grid and became convinced that some of the words aren't actually present in the grid. After thinking about the problem for a very long time it ended up giving me an invalid program, and I don't feel particularly motivated to try and debug where it went wrong.

What I find most interesting is that asking for a direct solution tends to fail, but asking for a program which solves the problem gets us much closer to a correct answer. Ideally the LLM should be able to just figure out that writing a program is the optimal solution, and then it can run that and extract the answer.

This situation is a real mess when you being in international rights too - eg F1TV largely doesn’t operate in F1’s biggest markets as the rights to live broadcast are still owned by existing cable/satellite networks.
I find it a sad thing that often great achievements and ruthlessness go hand in hand. “Hard times create strong men and strong men create good times” is a famous quote. For example, it applies to Arnold Schwarzenegger since his father apparently mentally and physically abused Arnold[1], as well as for Elon Musk’s father for whom it is well documented he is a piece of work. If you read a lot about founders then this is a recurring theme. Why else would you work like a maniac your whole life? You don’t need a successful company to have a happy life.

There have also been studies that people tend to leash out to people below them if they feel that someone above them leashes out on them. This “displacement behavior” is a form of stress relieve. Monkeys do it too, and also there it is a form of stress relieve. It sort of makes sense right? You feel shit so then the easy solution is just to tell someone else that he/she is shit. You feel a bit better about yourself and all is good. Apart from the poor person (or monkey) who receives the abuse.

So on the one hand, we want great men who produce good times, who solve difficult problems (Elon) or who inspire people (Arnold). But on the other hand I wish no child to have a tough childhood like that. That’s life I guess.

One thing about Shockley. The blog mentions Shockley’s funeral. What the blog doesn’t mention is why there was no funeral. His wife thought nobody would come anyway so decided to not hold the ceremony. A sad ending. I wonder how his parents were and what would have become of him if things would have been a bit different. Maybe he would have been smart and emphatic?

[1]: Although many people don’t know this, Arnold can be very ruthless. Read about his early years and his relationships for more info.

> For those who use debuggers regularly, would you be willing to share how you learned to use them or any tips and resources that helped you?

I use debuggers a lot. I learnt the most when I implemented my own toy debugger. Everything made a lot more sense afterwards. It also made me realize that debuggers give you only a limited view of what is really going on in a CPU. If you want to truly understand how a program is executed on a CPU you'll need to learn a lot more about CPUs and likely about the specific CPU you work with.
You don’t need to ditch vim to have these features! Mostly they’re using lsp in a client (editor) / server relationship. You can run the same tooling happily from vim (I use neovim, but I believe it’s all implemented in vim too).
Im kindof a Pete.

It is a ying-yang kind of situation where you need people to do the greenfield stuff and just get something working and you also need people who balance that through documentation, rollout, and day 2 operations.

I am in a feedback loop of if what I built sucks I will get paged and woken up in the night, but that only includes operational health and not necessarily “good” architecture and documentation.

I will say that 9/10 times when I cut corners or do something which is hacky it is really only an aesthetics thing and does not affect metrics which matter. The best thing you can do is make things simple and hacky, it leads to quick MVP and is easy to refactor. Complex and hacky is where you get into all sorts of problems.
Nice! I looked for meta data and found only an anemic thing, but embedding a whole file with structured data makes perfect sense.

But of course this only pushes the responsibility back a step: why the heck isn’t Adobe pushing developers to include structured data in their output?

Every time you “Save as PDF” there should be a checkbox defaulted on to “Save Data to PDF”.

They’re already done the first thing; why not do the second thing to make everyone’s life easier?
A million different pieces of engineering, primarily, that the battery is designed to be much easier to replace than disassembling the entire car like the Fiat is.
It's not so much about deletion, but more about unfair downvoting to the extent that the posting user's account itself becomes at risk. This is even for very valid GitHub open source project link posts despite the projects having lots of stars. The theory is that the downvoting users don't want to spend the time to keep up with AI, and also don't want others to spend the time.
Most likely, starting in 2025, we will have hit a point of no return.

It won't be considered this until much later, if there are people who manage, but still it will be a great year. Great... but terrible things will be coming.

AI will have reached another milestone in the amount of tasks and quality that are performed, further debasing the demand for labor, and further moving us all towards societal collapse within the next 50 years; our society based on a distribution of labor reels when chaotic distortions occur, and as it stands today it can be disrupted without a viable (for survival) fallback, the only fallback is non-market socialism which fails (within 50 years).

Inflation/Currency debasement will continue getting worse with the abandonment of the petrodollar, and the inability to control the currency with government spending tied to money printing will continue until debt growth exceeds GDP. Shortage which we are only starting to see at the markets, will get much worse. What started as shortage with maintenance products like lithium grease, chemicals, and certain foods will expand.

3rd-party driven interference and the imposition/coercion of cost exceeding means will continue further following and enforcing the trend of lower birth rates, and crazier (psychotic) people (who have been tortured by these things).

To put this further in perspective, 1/3 of the welfare paid out goes to those in California right now, who require government assistance for lifes necessities. There is little work to be found. There are people looking for work who have decades of professional experience and they cannot find work in any field because of ghost jobs. The mechanism used by RNA interference to block receptors, works the same in communications networks (i.e. how you find a job).

The future is quite bleak because people have ignored many things, buried their heads to things they should not have ignored, and failed to act. They effectively have allowed themselves to be blinded, and stopped listening unable to adapt or react. Quite similar to mouse utopia.

The next few years won't be good years. They will be great years. Great and terrible.
From my point of view, "it has something to do with web dev" already makes it a niche. And as a rule of thumb, if you're using letter-number-letter abbreviations like "o11y" and assuming everyone knows what you're talking about, you're in a niche. (E.g.: I could parse "i18n" and "l10n" already, but I wouldn't expect random HN readers to. When I first saw "k8s" and looked it up I thought "man, really?".)
I totally see the advantages of immutable distros, particularly in a professional or cloud environment. Even as a hobbist, I feel tempted to use immutable distros if it were not because of:

- Learning. Figuring out how to migrate a setup even to the most mainstream-like immutable distro (fedora silverblue) can take a while, and to niche distros like talos even longer. However, a k8s-friendly setup with low customization requirements would help to speed up the migration (but it requires more powerful machines).

- Long term support. Regular distros like Debian and AlmaLinux offer free 5 and 10 year support cycles which means maintenance can be done every 1 or 2 years. On the other hand, immutable distros would require much more frequent maintenance, once every 6 months. A weekend every 6 months is a sizeable part of my time budget for hobbies.

One aspect in which immutables distros have improved a lot is in resource usage. They used to require significantly more disk space and have slightly higher minimum requirements than regular distros, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
For an article that seems to be addressed to travel startups, it sure does seem to talk a lot about failure of the crypto industry.

As someone who has made this mistake also - it's a common error for founders to try and run into the spike of industries with terrible software execution. If you want to work in one of those industries, the barrier to better software is structural. Winning isn't a matter of making better software (that's extremely easy in such a market), it's a matter of winning on distribution. Making better software is generally only a path to victory in industries that already have great software because that's historically what has determined victory.

Many founders of course run away from industries with well-executed software because of the perceived difficulty of competition.

The competition is just as hard in industries with worse software, just different. This post smells of never really having a plan to conquer distribution, and expecting better tech (in an industry which is so far behind) to win on its own. It's a hard lesson to learn.

I see it as that the barrier to entry for making money has never been lower. Right now, it’s one of the best times in history for anyone to start earning, not just the Wall Street elites. Thanks to AI tools and online platforms, it’s easier than ever. Every week, new tools are being launched, some even claiming returns as high as 400%.

Take the NexusTrade guy on Reddit as an example. He created his own investment tool and is now in conversations with Wall Street professionals.

It’s so accessible now that with just $100, you could invest in a stock like NVIDIA, double your money in a week, then reinvest across multiple stocks and multiply it again. Suddenly, $100 turns into $2,500 in no time.

I get your point about everyone making money, but why is that a bad thing? Isn’t it great that anyone can do it? These platforms are practically making money for you, whether you’re at work, at home, or even asleep. Like someone once said, “If you can’t make money while you sleep, you’ll work until you die.”

It’s never been easier to earn significant amounts of money, and it doesn’t look like this trend is slowing down anytime soon.
Shout-out to the Rust users rolling their eyes in this thread, but keeping their mouth shut out of fear of being labeled as a Rust evangelist or something. I find these discussions hard to take very seriously. Even in this thread some people nodding at Rust are implying that C++ is easily/regularly faster which is really a take, given nearly every single RIIR example/benchmarking I've seen so far.
I apologize for not getting back to you earlier on this (if you see it at all!)

We've seen it fail over and over. They won't investigate their own seriously, and even when they find the grossest violations of law, they cover it up.

The idea that there will be justice by the voters is laughable.
This confirms you are just spouting numbers, half the Tesla lineup MSRPs under $40k and I’ve seen battery replacement bills regularly in the $6k range. Continue being mad and misinformed.
I still think that the junction transistor was an evolutionary step from the junction diode. Once you have a working diode, adding a third terminal to control the depletion zone seems like such a natural thing to do.
> “Value investing” is dead for most, picking a company that you believe will generate solid long-term revenue is no longer interesting.

In that sense, value investing has always been dead—most people were never interested in that. That's why value investing worked.
I think it’s a balance. You do need to be an asshole sometimes to get things done. But you don’t need to be an asshole all the time. It’s an easy excuse to say you need to be a prick because otherwise you cannot do your great achievements. It’s a false dichotomy. Even Einstein had friends.
The novel versions of the Expanse do touch on human excreta at points. There's a mention of a urine collection device in a space suit at some point.
I suddenly realize, though, that I can't ever remember seeing a bathroom door anywhere on any USS Enterprise or similar.

Like, wouldn't there be one tucked away in a back corner of the bridge, or a corner of a room or passage adjoining the bridge? Shouldn't we see a bathroom door, or at least the open entrance to a "bathroom corridor", as the characters do a walk-and-talk down the hallways?

And then... regular TV shows show women putting on or taking off their makeup in the bathroom mirror, people having a conversation through the shower door, someone in a stall overhearing a conversation by the sink... has Star Trek ever shown that?

What the heck does a bathroom look like on Star Trek? And the bathroom signage?
As far as I'm aware, the only quasi-legit services in the space are DEXs - smart contracts whose purpose is to allow users to trade tokens for other tokens. They aren't outright scams in their own right (at least, most of the big ones aren't), but they also facilitate a lot of the scams described in the article.
Lobster wasn't always that way, early American settlers thought of it as gross poor-people food. To be clear they were a break from culinary tradition in that respect. They had debates about how often it was reasonable to force a servant or a convict to eat lobster. Maybe western culture will change its mind on insects, though I think they can leave me behind on that one.

Absolutely! Realtime data will require a subscription, which will also include an LLM analysis of the past week's data. I think one of the VCs funding my upcoming disruptive space station piss tank telemetry platform requested that.

I'm pretty sure I can also shove a blockchain in there somewhere too even though they're a bit passé.

This model is fun. Uploading images and asking it a user research style question like "Please think aloud while viewing this image" creates gems like this:

"Let me take another close look at the sandwich. The way the light reflects off the melted cheese highlights its creamy texture. The pasta pieces are well-integrated into the cheese, and the herbs are evenly distributed, adding color and likely flavor.

I can almost taste it now. The combination of textures and flavors must be divine. The crispy bread, the melty cheese, the soft pasta, the crunch from the fried bits, and the freshness from the herbs—all working together in harmony.

I think I might have to go out and find this sandwich place soon. Or perhaps I'll try recreating it at home this weekend. Either way, this image has certainly whetted my appetite for a delicious grilled cheese sandwich."

`std::optional<T>`'s style is more akin to using

everywhere.
So... literally survivorship bias, and insider trading. Great, neither of those make me think I'm arrogant or smart enough to day trade. Nothing about this is elitist.

I've made a killing on 'X' by getting in early and holding over the years. Not one single person in my life knows the details because I want zero responsibility for them getting wrapped up in it, and I know how hard it is for people to be patient and hold when they're chasing a high, I mean profits.
Fires in the Channel Tunnel could weaken the tunnel and cause it to flood catastrophically. This came closer to happening than the engineers expected with an accident on a train carrying hazardous goods.

There’s nothing to say it was predatory games. Roblox is a platform with a vast number of games from unaffiliated developers.
Okay, and why would people who aren't already in the field have any idea about your specific jargon meaning of "observability"? My browser's spellcheck underlines that. My understanding of ordinary English turns it into "the fact, of something which can be observed, that it can be observed" which is... supremely unenlightening.

I get that HN isn't appealing to the general population, but the world of programmers etc. is still quite broad.

It really depends on how you phrase it. If you talk about copyright in the abstract, then yes, few people will care. But ask them how they feel about stuff like this specifically, and it'll be rather different.

Oh, there's basically no chance of getting that on the Internet.

The Internet is a machine that highly simplifies the otherwise complex technical challenge of wide-casting ignorance. It wide-casts wisdom too, but it's an exercise for the reader to distinguish them.
The idea that Intel is selling these at a loss does not sound reasonable to me:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42505496

The only way this would be at a loss is if they refuse to raise production to meet demand. That said, I believe their margins on these are unusually low for the industry. They might even fall into razor thin territory.
